the falling battle studies

I know I have been absent for a while, but when life happens… c’est la vie!  Since being on winter break from school (which I’m LOVING by-the-way), I have had time to catch up on some of my music.  So, with that, I am in LOVE with the new releases John Mayer and Norah Jones.  Norah’s sound has transformed and her single “chasing pirates” is what drew me into her new release.  Now, I’ve always enjoyed Norah before  but this new album is showing her faster speed and sexier side that we, as listeners, has never heard from her before.  Oh, and not to mention that her new haircut in the video is…. (drumroll please)… to DIE for!

John Mayer’s battle studies is the open invitation to his heart. All of the songs display where he is in his life.  His single, “Who Says”, is an ode to all of those out there who just don’t “give a damn”.  My personal favorite “Heartbreak Warfare”, is about his rocky relationship with his ex, Jennifer Anniston and his duet with Taylor Swift on the song “Half of My Heart”, introduced some of the younger audiences to his music.  Like all John Mayer songs, you just can’t get them out of your head! And this new album is sure not to disappoint.
